What to do with the twelve women of the Western Regions?

Xu Miaojin was also very worried about this.

She can accept Scarlet Chun as a dowry maid, it does not mean that she can tolerate raising twelve Western Regions concubines at home, love is still sacred in Xu Miaojin's heart after all.

The family concubine and the dowry maid are two concepts.

What's more, it's still from the Western Regions.

Deep down, Xu Miaojin is very refusal.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly, "Let's see." ”

Let's look at the meaning of dusk first.

After resting for a whole day, I went out of the room on the third day of dusk, had dinner early in the morning, and went to the Times Commercial Bank first to find Shen Xili, who was very busy.

The owner is here, and no matter how busy he is, he has to find time.

Sitting down in the shade of the tree in the courtyard of the business, Shen Xili drank tea, looked at the dusk on the opposite side pretending to look at the account books, and said angrily: "Don't call the bookkeeper to come over, do you understand?" ”

The bookkeeper of Times Commercial Bank is Liang Weisheng.

I came from Xu's house.

Own.

Dusk smiled: "It's okay, it's just going through the motions, I still trust you Shen Xili, the reason why I still don't know how to pretend to understand is because I don't want others to laugh at me as a weak chicken." ”

Shen Xili can't fake it.

One is Liang Weisheng staring, and the other Zhao Fangsheng, Gou Bu, and Zhang Fengyang have been guarding the treasury of Times Commercial Bank, although they don't know about the accounts, but the three of them also know the movement of the money.

Shen Xili laughed.

False.

If you really trust me, Liang Weisheng will always guard me?

Nor does it pierce.

After a long time, I will see the hearts of the people, and when the long years pass, dusk will understand that I, Shen Xili, am not that kind of person, and his use of me Shen Xili is the wisest decision in his life on the way to business.

After laughing, he said: "I'll tell you straight, in the past few months since you left Suncheon to go to the north, affected by the war, the total income of Times Commercial Bank was only 93,678 taels, excluding various costs and funds, and the total profit was more than 21,200 taels. ”

It's just a huge profit.

He also said: "Among them, there are more than 18,000 taels to prepare for various things in the West, so in the treasury of the trading bank, there are only more than 3,000 taels of money saved, which is really not much." ”

That is, you don't come to the idea of a trading house.

Dusk had to close the ledger.

He asked: "Now the business name stores of the Times Commercial Bank should have been distributed all over the country, right?" ”

Shen Xili nodded, "According to your advice, basically there are our stores in major towns across the country, so the investment in this early stage is huge, and the workshop in Zhongshan has been repeatedly expanded, in fact, the business bank is now a little unable to make ends meet." ”

It's also very sad.

I always feel that the move of dusk is too extreme, and the scale is expanding too fast.

I'm afraid that one day the funds won't be returned, so I have to kneel.

Dusk nodded, "This is no way to do it, if you want to make money, you can't just rely on Yingtian's side, you have to practice the strategy of small profits and quick turnover, so it is imperative to distribute goods across the country, and you can't delay." ”

He asked again: "Since the scale is enough, isn't it profitable every day?" ”

Shen Xili nodded, "That's true, but due to the impact of the war, I'm not as crazy as before, after all, shower gel, lotion and soap, and glass also have a consumption process." ”

Dusk hummed, "There is another matter, Your Majesty and the eldest prince both intend to let me take out the money to solve the matter of issuing additional treasure money because of the war, this is a trouble." ”

Shen Xili shook his head decisively, "It can't be done, if you get involved, the Times Commercial Bank will collapse overnight, and no one can save it, don't forget, Zhongshan's purchase also requires a lot of money." ”

Dusk pondered for a moment, and suddenly said a digression, "When autumn comes, you are going to Shuntianfu." ”

Shen Xili was puzzled, "What are you going to do?" ”

Dusk laughed, "Our Times Firm helped His Majesty and Zhu Gaochi solve the sequelae of the additional issuance of treasure money, this matter is feasible, after all, it is beneficial to the country and the people, but we can't take risks in vain, so I plan to get the land on the side of Shuntianfu from His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

Shen Xili's eyes lit up, "The matter of moving the capital has been decided?" ”

Dusk laughed, "It's the general trend." ”

No matter how the butterfly's wings are flapped, as long as Warat, Tatar and Uliangha cannot enter the customs, then Zhu Di is determined to move the capital, and once the capital is moved, the housing prices in Shuntianfu will soar.

In all dynasties, except for wars, gold and silver were hard currency.

And one more too.

House!

The house is also the most valuable fixed asset in all dynasties.

As a descendant of Shen Wansan, Shen Xili, coupled with his own ability, as well as the continuous accumulation after running the business bank of the times, his business sense is extremely keen, and he became excited when he heard the words, "If this can be done, it can be operated, but how can we help solve the sequelae of the additional issuance of treasure banknotes?" ”

Dusk thought for a while, "In the future, only treasure money will be collected for selling products, and then handed over to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince to destroy." ”

There is less money on the market, and prices will slowly fall.

Of course, this also has to be cooperated by Zhu Gaochi, he has to send as few treasure notes as possible during this time, and he can no longer let the treasure money fly all over the sky, and then the treasure money will become waste paper.

Shen Xili frowned, "Without gold and silver coming in, we won't be able to hold on." ”

Dusk shook his head, "It's mainly the labor and materials, the manual side, you go to work, the people of our Times Commercial Bank, just grit your teeth this year and stick to the past, I'm ready, within a year this year, the Times Commercial Bank will not be profitable." ”

Shen Xili thought for a while, "It's feasible, it's not realistic for the workers to cut their salaries, but if they temporarily suspend part of their wages, they must be able to accept it, after all, the wages are not low." ”

He said, "But what about the money for materials from Zhong Shan's side?" ”

Dusk smiled bitterly: "This depends on Lao Li's ability, whether he can explain that those material merchants continue to deliver, but settle the settlement at one time next year." After thinking about it, he said, "I still have an idea." ”

Shen Xili asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Twilight smiled: "Financing." ”

Shen Xili was puzzled, "What? ”

He didn't have a concept of financing and couldn't understand it.

"There are a lot of rich people in Gyeonggi, so let's go to some rich people and allow their funds to enter our Times Firm and distribute dividends proportionally, so that we will have more operating capital," Evening explained. ”

Joint-stock system.

It is also necessary to share some cakes with others to form interest groups, which is conducive to the long-term development of Times Commercial Bank - a large group company, without the shroud of high-level powerful groups, is destined to not go far.

Shen Xili was puzzled, "But in this way, wouldn't they be able to point fingers at the operation of the Times Commercial Bank?" ”

Twilight laughed, "Of course it's impossible. ”

Shen Xili thought for a long time, "I'm still not optimistic about the financing you said, so I will consider it carefully, but if you really want to implement it, I will support it unconditionally." ”

Dusk nodded, "Good." ”

He added: "If the road of financing is blocked, I can only go to Zhu Gaochi and establish a money bank under the Times Commercial Bank, and use national credit as the background to absorb the wealth of the people." ”

It's also a way to get funded.

It is equivalent to borrowing the identities of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Di to open a national bank - of course, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, but in fact, this is my private bank of someone Huang.

Shen Xili bowed, "You decide." ”

Dusk nodded, thought about it, and said: "What Zhu Di means, let me go back to Yingtian to help Zhu Gaochi solve the tail of the additional issuance of treasure money, and I must continue to support the compilation of books and going to the West, these two things I really intend to fully support." ”

Shen Xili took a deep breath.

Immediately, he took another deep breath to suppress the resentment in his heart and said, "Are you so old? What do you take to support, Times Commercial Bank only has such a big shelf! ”

Dusk was helpless, "You are also a reader, don't you know that the master also helps the world." ”

Shen Xili laughed angrily, "Are you a master?" ”

Dusk is silent.

After a long time, he got up gently, "This matter has been decided, you don't have to worry about money, I'll find a way, it's really not good, I sold my mansion." ”

When he was about to go out, he looked back at Shen Xili, and suddenly took a deep look at him, "Mr. Shen has worked hard." ”

Shen Xili couldn't cry or laugh.

He immediately fell into deep thought.

At dusk, you make money and don't keep money, what do you want?

But no matter what, Shen Xili admired it very much in his heart.

The things that Dusk is doing so far are all the first in the country and the country.

Leaving the Times Trading House, he went to Zhongshan at dusk, found Lao Li who was busy, repeated the conversation with Shen Xili to him, and said: "Lao Li, do you have the confidence to persuade those material merchants to let them continue to deliver goods at the same time, and at the same time, they can delay the payment until next year." ”

Lao Li was stunned for a long time, "This ...... It's a bit of a strong man. ”

When it comes to this situation, I'm afraid that no one can afford to drag it out.

Dusk patted Lao Li on the shoulder, "Then face the difficulties." ”

Lao Li smiled bitterly, "I'll try." ”

He also said: "Before you go to the north, I have already prepared all the porcelain pipes and copper wires that I asked me to prepare for you, and all the carpentry has been completed. ”

Dusk's eyes lit up.

Forget about it.

At the beginning, Zhu Di was promised to install two sets of power generation equipment for Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, totaling 20,000 taels.

In the current situation, it is estimated that 20,000 taels will be white.

Since it's a white strip, there's no reason to be cheap Zhu Di's old boy, I'll take these two sets of equipment to cash out, and help compile books and go to the West It's not fragrant, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, these two sets won't be sent to Ouchi, I have other uses." ”

Presumably Zhu Di is embarrassed to blame me.

Who to monetize?

Here's the problem.

Ordinary people can't afford it, but Qiu Fuzhu can afford it, but His Majesty is useless, do they dare to buy it and use it, I'm afraid that His Majesty will be worried about wearing small shoes.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

As long as you can afford it.

You can give these two princes a hint, let them pay for it, and then give it to Zhu Di and Queen Xu, this is a big gift, maybe these two princes will not only pay this money.

Feasible!

Thinking of this dusk immediately came to the spirit.

Said to Lao Li: "On the purchase side, you go and catch it yourself, in addition, first give the guys in Zhongshan Workshop some vaccinations, and in the next six months or even a year, we may implement the strategy of temporarily deducting one-third of the salary every month, of course, this strategy can be a little active, and you can also use products to offset wages, anyway, just one point: saving." ”

Lao Li smiled bitterly, "Okay." ”

hesitated, and said: "If you are really short of money, I have made a lot of money in the past two years, if you need it, just ask, you can't take out 120,000, 12000 is still okay." ”

For various reasons, Lao Li's dividends have not been realized, so these two thousand taels are actually all of Lao Li's family wealth.

Lao Li is also content.

Twilight laughed, "Okay." ”

Back in the study of the mansion, Dusk immediately called Scarlet Chun and asked her to help polish the ink, then picked up the pen and wrote two invitation letters, and asked Xu Yin to go out and send them to Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, respectively.

These heroes of the martyrdom have money.

……

……

Ying Tian is very big, but Ying Tian is very small.

The day before yesterday, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince lowered his body and personally went out of the city for ten miles to welcome the return at dusk, but the hot face was attached to the cold buttocks, which made the government and the opposition in Gyeonggi quite turbulent inside and outside.

As long as it is related to the favored ministers and princes of the Son of Heaven, in this sensitive period, they will think about the prince.

Everyone looked at it, yo, dusk didn't give Zhu Gaochi face.

This means a lot.

Could it be that Dusk has been following His Majesty in the north for a while, and he already knows that the prince His Majesty wants to set up is not His Royal Highness the Great Prince, so he dares not to give the Great Prince face without fear.

It's human nature.

If the prince is not Zhu Gaochi, Dusk, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, must keep his distance from Zhu Gaochi.

Avoid being liquidated by Zhu Gaoxu in the future.

This is extremely exciting for the military generals in Jingnan: Jingnan is boundless, and almost all of them support Zhu Gaoxu, after all, everyone is a military general, and it will be better to speak in the future.

Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qiguo, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, are the same.

all support Zhu Gaoxu.

Because after the two received the invitation letter from Xu Yin, they quickly decided: go to the banquet!

This is the opportunity.

Judging from all indications, Dusk wanted to get closer to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but he didn't dare to be blatant, so he chose to start with the two princes.

And if His Royal Highness the Second Prince gets the support of Dusk, the odds of winning will skyrocket.

The news soon reached Zhu Gaochi's ears.

The great prince of the Ming Dynasty felt a lot cold in his heart, he never dreamed that the twilight of the confrontation with the prince incident had never been expressed, and after returning to Yingtian from the north, he immediately stood on the side of the second brother.

No wonder, when he went out of the city to meet him the day before, he didn't give himself this face.

There is no need to delve into the meaning of this.

I'm done.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Gaochi was discouraged, and after returning to the palace, he drank wine alone, and the princess Zhang saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, but it was about the matter of Lichu, and she didn't dare to say more about it.

Fortunately, someone soon came to visit quietly.

A courtier surnamed Yang.

Zhu Gaochi and the courtier surnamed Yang had a long secret conversation in the study.

At the same time, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, had already come to the Huangfu with a swagger, and Menzi immediately opened the middle door and invited the two Guogongs to enter the door.

The Yellow Mansion is already brightly lit, as bright as day.

Seeing that the two princes were dumbfounded, they had heard it for a long time, and they never wanted to see it with their own eyes, but they were still so amazing, which made people envious and jealous, and they wished that their mansion could be so brilliant and bright.
